A Time As This

Lyrics

Esther four, fourteen through sixteen

For if thou altogether
holdest thy peace
at this time,
then shall there enlargement
and deliverance arise
to the Jews
from another place;
but thou and thy
father's house
shall be destroyed:
and who knoweth
whether thou art come
to the kingdom
for such a time
as this?

Then Esther bade them
return Mordecai
this answer,

Go, gather together
all the Jews
that are present
in Shushan,
and fast ye
for me,
and neither eat
nor drink
three days,
night or day:
I also and my maidens
will fast likewise;
and so will I go
in unto the king,
which is not according
to the law:
and if I perish,
I perish.

Esther chapter four,
verses fourteen through sixteen

and who knoweth
whether thou art come
to the kingdom
for such a time

which is not according

and if I perish,
I perish.
